Toan Anhui can be classified into five natural areas: the Hoai Bac plain, the Jianghuai hill region, the Dai Biet Son area in Hoan Tay, the Yangtze river delta and the Huanan mountain region.[8] The plains account for 31.3% of Anhui area (including 5.8% of the reclaimed land), hills and hills account for 29.5% of the area, mountains account for 31.2% of the area, lakes and swamps account for 8% area.
The main mountain ranges in Anhui include Dai Biet Son, Hoang Son, Cuu Hoa Son, Thien Tru Son. The highest peak is Lien Hoa peak in Hoang Son with an altitude of 1,860 meters.

This Hoan Bac plain has a flat and wide terrain, located in the southern region of the North China Plain. The Hoan Bac plain has an elevation of about 20-50 meters above sea level, gradually decreasing from the northwest to the southeast. The northern tributaries of Hoai Ha flow in the southeast direction and then join Hoai Ha and Hong Trach Lake. The northern part of the Hoan Bac plain is affected by the floods of the Yellow River, so there is now a deep sedimentary layer. Due to the long-standing agricultural exploitation, now the Hoan Bac plain has no natural vegetation, currently only man-made species such as cypress, poplar, willow, hip, poplar, etc. du. In the south, the terrain is not as flat as in the north, Dai Biet Son occupies most of southwestern Anhui and a series of hills and mountains cut through the southeast part. The Truong Giang flows through Anhui between these two mountainous areas.
